League of Legends Dev Tracker

I don't want to get into too many specifics

Why not? Gotta wait till the official ability reveal?

She plays around it a little like Wind Wall, protecting her from enemies outside it, but if they cross the threshold, they're in there with her able to fight.

That seems more like Xins ult than wind wall.

Is there a plan in place for if it becomes an issue? I'd be more willing to be optimistic if I knew we wouldn't have to wait months for it to be taken care of if it turns out to be an issue.

Bit confused how she will deal with fighters that 100-0's squishies in one rotation, supposedly she's squishy too. Looking forward to the kit regardless

So this is the real AP Xin Zhao everyone was talking about lately...

She definitely feels more like a battlemage to me, as she lacks the strong personal defense that basically every other skirmisher in the game possesses, and her damage tends to be almost entirely area-of-effect.

Hope to see some of the concept art Zeronis did for her before he left as well as lonewingy help and an insight to that in the champion insight.

I admit not what I was expecting as Zeronis last design champ + eve/Qiyana designer help, but I do like her overall design even if I do wish it was different.

Lillia is kind of a "we don't have anywhere else to put her in" case, but yeah.

As a disclaimer I do like her design, I think the gothic lolita sort of style is one that League does not yet have. However, my main... "gripe" is that of her not appearing to be more doll-like. Your explanation definitely makes sense, but it doesn't excuse Riot's decision to make it so. From what I can tell, there's no valid reasoning to decide on her being a transformed doll over an animated one. Other than to make her more cute and human like, which makes her more attractive and possibly sell better, at the expense of making her less unique and less distinctive to the game overall.

Is this really wise? I mean, someone asking for more champions like Yuumi and someone asking for more champions like Rek'Sai are probably wanting two very different things.

As someone who loves the monster champs and has been really frustrated by the last several years of releases I'm hoping there's one thing you can answer: Do "new" releases count reworks? Because as cool as the Voli and Fiddles reworks are, they were, or so I've read, considered part of the "new" monster champs for that year.

Is this the case? And if it is...could it not?

Would this have an effect on who gets the second 2022 VGU slot? Last year you said VGUs still totally count at how you look at the upcoming years roster, or has it changed like the categories to Human, Humanoid and Creature?

I still think you could probably do a bit more to sell the "Living doll" vibe, maybe some pailer skin or hollower looking eyes

She's ALMOST there, just needs a bit extra

Using existing champions as examples, which champs would sit on the cusp of human/humanoid and humanoid/creature? Also, what would Urgot, Sejuani (as a rider of a creature) and Udyr's placement be?

Originally posted by Zarathielis

Again, I don't know if you can share this but does the next champion (the mage) count as Humanoid or Creature and is she basically the "monster" champion of the year?

Also are you happy with how Viego has landed so far in terms of popularity?

Do you expect Gwen to be widely popular or more niche?

So will the percentages and stuff that you told us before be changing as well? Like will we be guaranteed at least one creature every year, and then a certain percentage of humanoids and humans? Also it's good to hear that the terminology will be changing. I know that a lot of people have been very upset that champs like Lulu, Xayah, Aatrox, and Rek'sai were all in the same category and fighting for spots.

and on another note; are you doing the roles thing again? viego being jungle, gwen being top, the mage being mid and so on. does this mean we will get an adc and support, I guess later this year?
